Southern Italian Meatballs image

This recipe was my Grandmother's - a sweet little lady from Bari Italy. The only thing I changed was the type of bread. Since the crust was removed from the Italian loaf, I use white bread.

Yield 48 meatballs, 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 lbs ground beef
1 lb sweet Italian sausage, casings removed
1 lb ground veal
12 garlic cloves, finely minced (please don't use that jar trash)
1 bunch parsley stems, removed finely chopped
8 slices white bread, tore into little pieces crust removed
1 quart beef stock
1 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese or 1 cup grana padano
1/2 cup romano cheese
1 teaspoon black pepper

6 eggs, beaten well
1 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Combine ground beef, sausage, veal, garlic, and parsley in a large bowl and put aside.
  • Mix the bread, beef stock, Parmesan cheese, romano cheese, pepper, sea salt, eggs, and breadcrumbs together. Combine well, cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or over night.
  • Roll into1-1/2 size balls and fry in 1' of olive oil until golden brown on all sides, or bake for 25 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit - great either way.
  • Meatballs may be added to your favorite sauce or eat them straight from the oven or pan.
